Bowman-Haley Dam

Bowman-Haley Dam provides boat ramp access to a 1,811-acre reservoir located in Haley, Bowman County, North Dakota. The lake offers 17 miles of scenic shoreline and reaches a maximum depth of 30 feet, making it suitable for a variety of watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This access point is your gateway to exploring the reservoir formed at the confluence of Spring Creek, Alkali Creek, and North Fork Grand River.

The site includes a boat ramp along with basic amenities including vault toilets. On the south shore, paddlers will find primitive camping areas if planning an overnight trip. The relatively calm, enclosed water of this dam-created lake makes it a good option for paddlers of varying skill levels, though visitors should be prepared for primitive conditions typical of North Dakota recreation areas. Check current water levels and conditions before visiting, as reservoir levels can fluctuate seasonally.
